MRs. RAMNELsBERG. the well known
singer, has just returned from four
years sojourn in Europe. and is resting
at the home of her father. Mr.. George
K. Wheat, in Wheeling. She met With
marked success upon the operatic stage.
especially in Russia, and is promising
artist. Mrs. Rsmmelsberg states the
case exactly when she says Americans
have the talent. but lack that patient
perseverance, necessary to become artists.
In other words, there is no excellence
without great labor" in singing, as well
as other things. Cultivated persons who
listen to singers in church choirs and
other public places in our country, es'
pecially outside the large cities, recog
nize many naturally strong and musical
voices, but at the same time the apparent
lack of culture and study and care
necessary to qualify one to sing satisfac-
torily in public. 1t is delightful study.
once one becomes interested in it, can
be pursued at odd times, daily, when
leisure is afforded, and is ennobling in
the highest degree. But it can not be
successfully pursued among the light
stuff that loads the shelves and tables
of our people. but only among the works
of the masters, as is the study of litera-
ture or of painting. Thorough study of
one of the massive choruses of Handel,
IN all its parts, may require weeks of
patient work. but when it is overcome
the individual realizes that something is
accomplished, and that he (or she) is
better lifted to sing and to enjoy the
simpler SONGS just as is the man who has
studied carefully and can recite well the
ut terances of Mark Antony better fitted
to read publicly the most commonplace
words.

The approaching Senatorial Conven'
tion in this dIsJrIcJ Is attracting cousid-
cradle attention in this county, AID
there are already two candidates from
this county-Mr. John S. Cochran, OF
Martins Ferry, and Mr.. c. H. Arick. of
this township-for the position. There
is growing feeling among the Repab'
licans of the county that senatorial
honors should be more evenly divided
between Belmont and Harrison than
heretofore,an and it seems probable tina the
delegates to the convention from Belmont
will insist that the nominee come from
this county. Since the adoption of the
present Constitution. 35 years ago, the
office has been held by Harrison county
twenty years, and by Belmont but hf
teen years. notwithstanding. the fact
that Belmont has about double the pop
ulatien of Harrison. Doubtless OuI
friends over the line recognize the stu
alton, and will do the proper thing when
the time cones for action.

MATTERS AT GAINESVILLE.
BARSEsvILLE, o., August 9, 1881


Friday night was the opening night of Hon.
Samuel HiIles' new novelty store. The stock
is the finest ever brought here, and consists OF
novelties, notions, and ladies' ready made wear.
The display Friday night was very fine, and
crowds of people were in attendance. This is
new enterprise here, and it is hoped it may
prove highly successful.
Mr.. JOIN TALBOT opened up new wall pa
per store in the Piper building last week. He
expects to carry a full line of paper and wall
paper decorations.
T. A. GRArIGNY, of the firm of Gratigny L
Judkins, sold out his interest in the store last
week to Mr.. Judkins, who will continue the
business. Failing health of Mr.. Gratigny was
the cause OF the change.
WILLIAM DEMENT, died last W Wednesday morn
ing after short illness, and was buried in
Southern Cemetery Thursday afternoon. He
was in the 73d year of his age, and had been
resident of Barnesvlle over twenty years.
TIE community was shocked last Saturday
by the news of the death of Mrs. Hattie Nc
Keever, wife of ClaTkson McKeever. She was
taken sick on Monday with a very malignant
type of typhoid fever, and died Friday night at
midnight. Her entire life of about u years
had been spent in GAINESVILLE, she being the
youngest daughter of John Cole, one of our old
and prominent citizens. She leaves husband
and three years old son, and very large circle
of relatives and friends TO mourn her loss. In
terment took place in Green Mount Cemetery
Sunday afternoon.
Mrs. ISAAC PEPPERS, an aged lady, living
northeast of town, died Monday morning. Fu-
neral took place from their late residence on
Tuesday afternoon.
We thought we had school superintendent
at last, as Mr.. Wolverton was elected at last
weeks meeting, but he hsd already accepted
another place, so we are still without leader
in the schools.
Ten couples of our society young people
drove over to the country home of j. H. Collins
last Thursday and spent the evening.
A LARGE crowd went from here to Mounds
vile last Sunday, to hear Sam Small. The,

Ir is the opinion of leading Republicans Of
this place that Colonel c. L. Poorman will re-
ceiye the nomination for State Senator, if he
is a candidate st. Clairsville Cor. Wheel

This correspondent is mistaken. Re-
publicans hereabouts may think Mr.,
Poorman will receive the nomination
for Representative; but for Senator
Charles II. A-rick and John 5. Cochran
were announced when Mr.. Poorman was
a candidate for Auditor Of State, and
when there was DO thought of making
him a candidate for Senator upon the
part of anybody. Under the usages oil

for Representative. and, if it is thought
the proper thing to do. that Will De CIV
On him cordially; but, under the cir
cumstances, his candidacy for the sens

resentment. We have no doubt MI
Poorman appreciates that fact fully and
that he has no thought of being drawn
into that controversy.

The official stenographer" and his
friends are disposed TO insist that the
public shall provide that gentleman an
Office, and that it shall be furnished at
public expense. This the Commission
ers, for the county, will be required to
do when demanded, but the furnishing
of the room is matter for the Com mis-
sioners, not the stenographer, and typer
writers and the like can not be deemed
part of the furniture.
Within a few years laws have been
enacted requiring offices to be furnished
the Surveyor and the Prosecuting At
torney, and now an additional Office is
called for. In this county the Prose-
cutting Attorney has never required the
public to provide his Office, although the
law has authorized it for dozen years
or more. An office is provided the Sur
vey or in the public buildings. AS rule
that officer lives in another part of the
county, and his hat usually furnishes
sufficient Office room. except for his
! transit.
Good government, economy in public
expenditures. and the suppression of
abuses, demand the attention of the peo-
pie; and it is especially necessary that
they watch the dOings of the law maxi
ers. There is no good reason for pro-
viding offices at public expense for any
of tie persons named, and yet all of
them have been slipped into the statutes
within few years; and the proposition
to include type. writer's ii the furnishing
and to buy without consulting the Com
missioners. illustrates the disposition to
extraYagapce.

grounds of district school number one, south.

enjoyable and profitable Harvest Home picnic
The President called the meeting to order al

collecting for more than two centuries, and are
arranged in rows, row of skulls running

looking around, he expressed himself thus:

Yes, America is first up, after the long dark
night of superstition, so like to death, that
better it would be TO die than to let the world
drift back to it, or 10 live in times like those
before which the great principles of social,
civil and religious freedom, upon which Amer

play.
Let US in the quiet and rest of this day de-
termine that no experimenting by anarchists,
that no sneering of infdel, that no sophistry
shall win US away from the defense of that
which has made and will keep America free.
The address was greeted with ap-
plause, after which recess for dinner
was taken, and the people gathered in
groups about the grounds, and enjoyed
good square picnic dinner.
/ After dinner Rev. J. D. Moffat, Presi-
dent of Washington and jefferson Coll
llege, was introduced, and spoke for
nearly an hour, riveting the attention
of the audience. He referred to the
wonderful changes which had occurred
since he was boy at St. Clairsville, and
Ispoke feelingly and beautifully of the
old times. His address was plea fol
a broad and generous culture and higher
education. He gave some sound ad'
vice to farmers boys and girls, advising
them to stick to the farm, and to farm
ers to make their homes pleasant anC
attractive He advised farmers boys
and girls to marry among themselves
and to avoid alliances with city boys al
a rule. His address was replete will
sound advice, and we regret our inabili
